This is a paperback reprint - back due to popular demand. It is a
collection of 32 walks around London pinpointing the location of
the famous blue plaques. It also gives details of other points of
interest along the route, historical sites, pubs and restaurants.
This unique collection of London walks is an indispensable guide to
the commemorative plaques that are found all over the city. Derek
Sumeray, the leading authority on London's plaques, has organised
them into 32 fascinating walks. Every district is included, from
Mayfair to Hackney and from Hampstead to Wimbledon. And every kind
of plague is featured - not only the most famous blue plaques, but
also other plaques of every colour and form, which decorate the
corners of the capital. Derek Sumeray's painstaking research into
the plagues and into London's crowded past gives an unforgettable
insight into the history of the city. Each walk contains a detailed
map pinpointing the location of the plaques. The design of the
plaques is described, along with the individual, place or event
they commemorate. The author also comments on other points of
interest along the route - historical sites and buildings, notable
pubs and restaurants, and those other features of London streets
that turn each walk through the city into a journey of discovery.
